Agency Information Collection 

Activities: Submission for OMB 

Review; Comment Request 

AGENCY: Centers for Medicare & 

Medicaid Services. 

In compliance with the requirement 

of section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the 

Centers for Medicare & Medicaid 

Services (CMS), Department of Health 

and Human Services, is publishing the 

following summary of proposed 

collections for public comment. 

Interested persons are invited to send 

comments regarding this burden 

estimate or any other aspect of this 

collection of information, including any 

of the following subjects: (1) The 

necessity and utility of the proposed 

information collection for the proper 

performance of the Agency’s function; 

(2) the accuracy of the estimated 

burden; (3) ways to enhance the quality, 

utility, and clarity of the information to 

be collected; and (4) the use of 

automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology to 

minimize the information collection 

burden. 

1. Type of Information Collection 

Request: Revision of a currently 

approved collection; Title of 

Information Collection: Notification of 

Fiscal Intermediaries and CMS of colocated Medicare providers and 

Supporting Regulations in 42 CFR 

412.22 and 412.533; Use: Many longterm care hospitals (LTCHs) are colocated with other Medicare providers 

(acute care hospitals, Independent 

Rehabilitation Facilities (IRFs), Skilled 

Nursing Facilities (SNFs), psychiatric 

facilities), which leads to potential 

gaming of the Medicare system based on 

patient shifting. CMS is requiring 

LTCHs to notify fiscal intermediaries K 

(FIs), Medicare Administrative 

Contractors (MACs) and CMS of colocated providers and establish policies 

to limit payment abuse that will be 

based on FIs tracking patient movement 

among these co-located providers. Form 

Number: CMS–10088 (OMB#: 0938– 

0897); Frequency: Occasionally; 

Affected Public: Private Sector, Business 

or other for-profits and Not-for-profit 

institutions; Number of Respondents: 

25; Total Annual Responses: 25; Total 

Annual Hours: 6.25. (For policy 

questions regarding this collection 

contact Judith Richter at 410–786–2590. 

For all other issues call 410–786–1326.) 

2. Type of Information Collection 

Request: Revision of a currently 

approved collection; Title of 

Information Collection: State Health 

Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP) 

Client Contact Form, Public and Media 

Form, and Resource Report Form; Form 

Number: CMS–10028 (OMB#: 0938– 

0850); Use: The current Client Contact 

form, Public and Media Activity Report 

form, and Resource Report have been 

used to collect data to evaluate program 

effectiveness and improvement. In 

addition, the 2007–2009 State Health 

Insurance Program (SHIP) Performance 

Assessment Workgroup (comprised of 

SHIP Directors and representatives from 

external organizations such as the 

Administration on Aging), in a report to 

CMS, recommended that changes be 

made to the forms in order to enhance 

the ability to measure performance and 

program evaluation for each SHIP; add 

additional data collection elements as 

requested by Congress and SHIPs 

(Limited English Proficiency and Dual 

Mentally Disabled); and reduce the 

burden of data submission by counselor 

as a result of the ability to pre-populate 

certain data cells. The information 

collected is used to fulfill the reporting 

requirements described in Section 

4360(f) of OBRA 1990. Also, the data 

will be accumulated and analyzed to 

measure SHIP performance in order to
